use portlint to check your ports and send-pr to submit them.
portlint may be found at /usr/ports/devel/portlint.
send-pr is in the base system.

when submitting the PR, you may add a comment about the fact that the
maintainer cannot be reached anymore.

I didn't see any problem. 4.4BSD-lite* isn't encumbered w/ AT&T code
and has almost(*) the same license than FreeBSD, so, don't care.

* 4.4BSD uses the old BSD license while FreeBSD uses the new BSD license.
